It’s often best to ask for advice about Chinese and Oriental dresses and clothing.

We all know dress sizes vary between retailers, whether Next, Primark or M&S.

Telephone the manager on 01223 308800 or e-mail

The dress size tables below are for Guidance Only.

As ( most women know ) sizes are not standardised even between manufacturers of the same country, never mind internationally.

If in doubt why not measure a dress that already fits and compare with the measurements below.

Please contact Mandarin Order.Com with the details

if you are unsure.

We will be happy to help.

Perhaps one of the best ways of ordering clothes which will fit is to lay a similar item flat on the floor or bed and then measure its length, height, width in CENTIMETRES or INCHES and then contact

Mandarin Order.com with the details, by phone or e-mail.

Its best to at least measure across the shoulders, chest and waist.

You can also ask for the specific size of a dress measurement which is in stock prior to ordering ... see the arrows to the left for measurements, and the bottom of the dress width.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO LAY THE CLOTHING FLAT

BEFORE MEASURING

and to do not mix centimetres and inches.

The dress sizes above are VERY approximate, it is often better to ask us for advice.

For example, one model on the website of mandarin-oriental.co.uk wears a size 14 UK, but either XXL or XXXL may fit depending on the Oriental dress manufacturer, whose clothes sizing tends to be smaller fitting, and varying in size,

as do many UK retailers and European stores.

We will only be too pleased to measure your Chinese or Oriental dress prior to confirming your order and despatch.

We can even e-mail you a photograph of alternative dress choices which are not on this website due to the constant updating of our stock.

MandarinOrder.Com and Mandarin-Oriental.co.uk©

wants you to be satisfied with your Chinese or Oriental clothing purchase.

It is for this reason that we offer a sizing service to meet your needs and prevent having to exchange a clothing order due to incorrect fitting.

We achieve this by offering to send you the exact size of any particular clothing item,

so you can compare the measurements with a similar garment you have already purchased.

You may even choose to send these details to us and we will do our best to help,

we prefer to offer this sizing service to avoid disappointment,

six days a week.
